Weekly Ski Conditions Score
Excellent week ahead — powder days incoming
A massive 106cm dump in the last 48 hours has left the mountain in prime condition, with packed powder and freshly groomed pistes. Thursday stands out as the best day with full sunshine and cold temps locking in the snow. Saturday–Sunday brings another 15–25cm, promising a second powder cycle. Mild wind all week keeps visibility high. Only deduction: lower slopes (62cm base) are thinning and some lower lifts remain closed (40/51).
